# Import field security policy from file

You can export a field security policy to an XML file. With this file, you can import the field security policy in another D365 F&SCM environment.

This topic explains how to import a field security policy from a file.

This setup is included in the import, depending on the contents of the file:

- The field security policy with the table setup, field setup, and condition setup.
- All versions or a specifically selected version of the field security policy, depending on what is included in the file.
- The linked company groups. The companies, as defined for the company groups in the export environment, are not included in the import.

### Steps

1. Go to **Dynamic field security management** > **Policies** > **All field security policies**.
2. On the **Action Pane**, click **Deploy**.
3. Click **Import policy from file**.
4. Click **Select configuration**, browse for, and select the desired XML file.
5. You can run the import of a field security policy in the background. Usually, you do so if you import a field security policy with many elements.

While the field security policy is imported, you can continue with other activities in the environment.

Select **Yes** in the **Run in background** field.
6. Click **OK**.
